The Permis are an internal exchange currency which enabled the creation of this great learning resource for EcoEconomics.

The Integral PermaCulture Academy (creator of the Permis currency) accepts up to 60% of the costs of its courses in work exchanges that are accounted by in Permis.

We pay in Permis for a variety of support work, administration, or investigation that help improve the services offered by the Academy.

For example editing the e-book, doing translations, helping with conferenes that we offer periodically, improving the classes, supporting other students with additional tutorials, creating more free MiniCourses, etc.

It is with this funding (and lots of additional voluntary work) that these resources have been co-created (like this EcoEconomy wiki) so that everyone can be informed about the most advanced and emerging in sustainability science.

FairCoop

Fair Coop

The great event for 2015 for advancing EcoEconomics for all of us will no doubt be the FairCoop proposal, a new open cooperative with world-wide scope, (launched recently by the Catalán colective that is also moving the Integral Revolution) in order to create a new economic system, based o equality on a global level.

Values

This is a very large project and for a first immersion we recommend reading the extensive detailed information that you can find on the web www.fair.coop

FairCredit

FairCoop includes the creation of FairCredit;

FairCredit will be the big monetary innovation of FairCoop for creating - thanks to its complementarity with FairCoin & the work of FairCoop & its members - a new, more equitable & efficient economic system.

Its predicted launch date will be from January 2015, although this will be confirmed when the project is fully defined.

FairCoin

This is how we've planned this: FairCredit will be the mutual credit, global scale monetary system supported by FairCoin, which serves as the vehicle of economic exchanges & of expansion & contraction of credit between members of FairCoop, reducing their need to spend FairCoin & enhancing their function as a store of value, while we develop more appropriate mechanisms for bolstering credit & economic exchanges.

Innovations

As well as its global reach, we believe that this project can also be innovative because of other aspects, like for example:

It will experiment with an economic system with a synergy between the criptocurrency (FairCoin) & a mutual credit system, trying to combine the best of both monetary alternatives synergistically.

We will provide automation of the credit level of each user based on a variety of parameters decided by FairCoop;

Amongst which will be included p2p assignment of p2p credit between the participants (eg. a consumer group financing their producer)

Reputation systems related criteria are also included.

Also in development is the free software to support all this, based on p2p technology and cryptography that overcomes the need for a central server in order to increase the system resilience against attacks; we have expert developers in these areas to make it possible.
